#3Equating education with work is kind of silly. I mean, being silly is obviously the point of the post, but there's no need to be so morose about school. Education is incredibly valuable, and receiving it for free is nothing to sneeze at. In fact, millions of people pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for it after they get done with the free stuff.
Plus, summer vacation is totally awesome.

#6I like the way open-desk seating is regarded as a bad thing, surely it's better than being sat in a cube all day?

Do not think so, this is really important and sad. Taming of the wild animals starts at school, and then we wonder why so few are growing up entrepreneurs?

Not a bad idea. What if the front page was dynamically generated on a per user basis depending on whose opinion you respected. After typing this I realize it sounds similar to friendfeed. "A dynamic front page of people who you want to listen to"
FWIW, I voted up on this article so you can stop listening to me.

Hey, you're talking about my startup (btw, I re-posted the story from there)
Edit: If you are sick of being downvoted for having a different opinion you should definitely check it out.

Not equating education with work misses the bare truth that education _is_ work. And education _is_ valuable, which is why it shouldn't be put in the hands of a group of people that (as a group) fail.
Seriously, when was the last time you met someone successful that was good at only one thing? Yet children are put, every day, in the hands of people who know NOTHING outside their domain. Certainly there are a few exceptions: you probably even remember a few from your schooling. But they stick out in part because they're so rare.
